This note makes no sense in the context of external toolchains: the C library is already compiled into the external toolchain, so it's the responsibility of the person building the external toolchain to know how to configure eglibc. The fact that we don't support eglibc configuration in Buildroot doesn't make much sense. Or, if you want to mean that we don't support eglibc toolchains that have been configured to leave out certain features (such as IPv6 support for example), then it should be said in a different way, such as: "We only support eglibc toolchains providing this, that and this other feature".
